Michael Jackson’s Death Ruled a Homicide – MJ Had Lethal Levels of Propofol.
The Los Angeles coroner’s office ruled Michael Jackson’s death a homicide and an unsealed warrant said the singer had a lethal dose of the anesthetic propofol in his body when he died, the Associated Press reports.
Jackson’s personal physician, Dr. Conrad Murray, told officers that he was treating the singer for insomnia for about six weeks and had been giving Jackson 50 milligrams of propofol every night intravenously, according to the search warrant affidavit, which was obtained by the Los Angeles Times.
Perseid meteor shower (“the Perseids”)
The Perseids (pronounced /ˈpɜrsiː.ɨdz/ us dict: pûr′·sē·ĭdz) are a prolific meteor shower associated with the comet Swift-Tuttle. The Perseids are so called because the point they appear to come from, called the radiant, lies in the constellation Perseus.
Every year in early August, we can observe the Perseid meteor shower (“the Perseids”). And it’s a fascinating sky event.
Here’s a beginners’ guide to what it is and how best to enjoy it. (Perhaps, impress your friends with these astronomy questions and answers!)
Meteor showers occur when Earth moves through a meteor stream. The stream in this case is called the Perseid cloud and it stretches along the orbit of the Comet Swift-Tuttle. The cloud consists of particles ejected by the comet as it passes by the Sun. Most of the dust in the cloud today is approximately a thousand years old. However, there is also a relatively young filament of dust in the stream that was pulled off the comet in 1862. The rate of meteors originating from this filament is much higher than for the older part of the stream.

Bomb scare at NYC LaGuardia Airport
Posted by: admin in Current Events on August 1st, 2009
News about bomb scare at NYC LaGuardia Airport are all over the internet today.. Here are some of the hottest news!
LaGuardia Airport’s central terminal was evacuated Saturday after a Manhattan kook was busted with a fake bomb in his bag, authorities said.
The NYPD Bomb Squad investigated, and it turned out the suspect had a bunch of batteries taped together to look like dynamite with wires sticking out, sources said.
But the damage was done.
After the 6 a.m. scare, thousands of passengers were rushed out of the concourse and even herded off planes waiting to take off on the runway.
Flights in and out of the airport were grounded indefinitely, and air traffic across the country was expected to be delayed as a result.
Richard Bock, 59, a Gramercy Park psychologist had been waiting to get on a plane with his wife and 7-year-old daughter to fly to a wedding in Milwaukee.
“All we know is that they told us to get out of the airport.” Bock said. “Someone told me to exit the terminal and run. Then I saw all the fire and police trucks coming, and we’ve been told all our flights will be delayed.”
Michael Joseph, 29, of Mamaroneck was on the tarmac on a Southwest Airlines plane, heading to Chicago for his sister’s 2 p.m. wedding.
“They said they had a [Transportation Security Administration] emergency and we had to evacuate. People were very confused.”
